Everynow and then my screen will get a line of what looks like grey static like you get on a analog tv, anyone else getting this???
I haven't had one issue at all with my screen. Might want to take the phone to Sprint and ask them what is going on.
Haven't had that issue. Are you on stock?

I have seen this in the camera app I'm thinking about taking it back. It gets so you cant even read the screen at times.

I've noticed quirks like that on almost every phone I've owned. It doesn't do it every time though, and doesn't seem to matter where on the phone your hand is.
All devices without a physical antenna do this. Which is almost every phone now a days. All my phones done this.
Try this, hold your device sideways in landscape mode wrapping your index finger along the side, right on top of the ear speaker. You'll see your bars increase.

TBH,
I had never had the IPhone issue with a phone until I owned an Iphone....and then I owned a mytouch 4g and my wi-fi signal would drop depending on how i held it....
But nothing too bad

Actually, nothing is as bad as the iphone antenna. My friends iphone was horrible on that.
Yea, the mytouch is not so bad. I'm usually always holding my phone in landscape which is how it gets the best reception, so its all good.

I think every phone does
My wifi signal even loses a few bars for some reason when I do, and the router is ~20ft away without any walls
EDIT:
****, wrong forum.. sorry!!
I've been dealing with a phantom touch issue with my shift. Pefectly centered in on the botto of the screen where it hits the phone button in sense. Its looking like a hardware issue.
My question is, has anybody else experienced this and has anybody dealt with taking a rooted phone back to sprint for service?
Thoughts?

I had a weird issue where an area (the left side of the screen 2mm strip) on the touchscreen didn't work at all. I used the one zip RUU back to stock and brought it in and they gave me a new slider (whole top portion). Just happened 2 weeks ago.
I have bad problems with that and screen protectors, especially when it's really hot and humid (like everyday here in tampa)
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
At first I thought it was the screen protector, but the problem persisted after I stopped using them. And then I thought it was a bad rom or rom install, so I tried 3 different ones with no change. So ill just update myself to the OTA GB and take it in for service.

Did the rooted update to GB and it seems to have gotten rid of the phantom touch issue. I ended up having to do a factory reset when I did it, so maybe that helped. Glad I don't have to deal with customer support now. There always seems to be a line when I go in.

Just want to say you're not alone, this happened once temporarily on my G2. It made pressing the "s" and "a" keys on the on-screen keyboard almost impossible!
Hi,
I've been viewing the forums now since the phone was released and haven't seen anyone come across the problem I have now.
Basically, the screen will swipe and press things on its own without my input. It happens everyday but not all time.
I have a rooted 2.3.3 R800i from UK with locked bootloader.
Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
This happens to me when there's moisture on the screen. Wiping it off always fixes the problem. Make sure your fingers are dry when using it.

Thanks for the suggestiron, however after trying this the problem still occurs.
So now I tried changing the screen protector but nothing has changed.

Yes it's similar. Except its not just typing, it can be on the homescreen and my widgets/icons open on their own without me touching anything.

I had this exact problem too.
It seems to be fixed with the newest firmware upgrade we recently got.
My guess is that it is a touchscreen hardware problem that they have managed to fix via a software solution.
ok, I might have to try the update then.
Only problem is will it wipe off my root?

Not as bad, but the problem still persists.
Anyone else seeing this on their kindle? When going to a darker screen, I have ghost images from previous screens in the current screen. Does it on every rom I try. Like its burning an image in the lcd, but its not permanent. Do you think its causing damage tho?

I've noticed it a few times also, it fades away in about 30 seconds.
Has anyone else noticed this at all?

Wich rom are you in? With several roms (as it was with ICSGS, fixed in newer releases) it can be a common software issue. How exactly is the "flicker"?

Oh sorry I was using tapatalk and didn't see the sig. Most likely to be a software issue, don't worry! I'm on ICSSGS, and it should have it already fixed, but still happens now and then... Don't know if it's the same kind of flicker, but it definitely seems software, and even more if you are using a custom ROM... Have you search in your ROM's thread if anyone else have the same problem?
